Severe storms are likely across several regions of Texas on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10, 2026. This does not look like a big tornado setup, but it does look like a day where large hail, damaging straight-line winds, heavy rain, and frequent lightning may become issues for outdoor plans.
Storms may begin developing as early as midday to early afternoon across parts of West Central Texas, the Big Country, North Texas, Texoma, and nearby areas. By afternoon and evening, storms should move southeast across a large part of Texas, including the Concho Valley, Hill Country, Central Texas, Brazos Valley, Northeast Texas, East Texas, the ArkLaTex, South Central Texas, Coastal Plains, Coastal Bend, and parts of Southeast Texas.
Main threats Sunday:
• Large to very large hail, possibly baseball size in the strongest early storms
• Damaging straight-line winds of 60 to 70 mph
• Localized hurricane-force wind gusts over 75 to 85 mph in the strongest storms
• Frequent lightning and heavy rain
• Very low tornado risk, but not zero
If you have Mother’s Day plans outdoors, keep an eye on radar and be ready to move indoors quickly when storms approach. When thunder roars, get indoors.
Texas Storm Chasers expects to provide live severe weather coverage Sunday as storms develop and move across Texas.
